Secrets From the Food Lab by Traci Mann
5.0
Scientific studies about food, weight, exercise:
- Dieting (using rules to restrict eating via willpower) does not work in the long term and damages health.
- Exercise helps us live longer and have better mood. We ought to do it for that reason, even though exercise does not result in weight loss.
- Genetics largely determine our "weight set range".
- Use methods such as avoiding seeing the food, thinking of it abstractly instead of concretely, and coming up with an alternate intention ("when I enter the kitchen, I will eat an apple") and form habits.
